As a cishetero, White male who wrote his dissertation on administrative abuse of DEI policies harming students and faculty, it's been brutal trying to get an academic job.

Good. It's created a situation that's miserable for faculty, miserable for heterodox and conservative students, and it delegitimizes the public perception of higher education. The progressive-neoliberal model only benefits certain admins while hurting everyone else.

SCOTUS Originalists overturned Roe v Wade because they see the Legislative branch as responsible for social policy, and W. Virginia v EPA similarly said that the Leg branch is responsible for policy, not the Executive. All major decisions are about re-empowering the Leg branch.

Public trust in multiple institutions has cratered, and, in at least some cases, for good reasons.
I'm afraid the high priests are going to have to come down from their ivory towers and spend a few painful minutes amongst the unwashed masses, and, yes, do a little explaining.
That would be a great suggestion if you could assure that the industry you were representing wasn’t completely captured by heartless monsters who have a history of some of the biggest criminal fines in human history because their deception has cost hundreds of thousands of people…

The argument, as I understand it, is 1) non-racist Conservatives got called 'racist' for opposing any Obama policy (taxes, regs, etc.), whether it involved race or not and 2) That's when CRT-type stuff started showing up in the political ether, making Whites feel under attack.
